Jennifer Lopez Leaving 'American Idol' — New Report

Sources say Jennifer is just ‘too busy’ to judge on ‘American Idol’ next season. Will YOU miss her?

Oh, no! This is a huge bummer. Jennifer Lopez is reportedly hanging her towel and stepping down as judge on American Idol after season 11 comes to an end.

“She’s just too busy,” a source told E! News.

Tell us something we didn’t know! Between her beauty products, fashion lines, four-year-old twins Max and Emma, acting career and music — including an upcoming tour with Enrique Iglesias — (not to mention her romance with Casper Smart), the 42-year-old mogul might be the hardest working woman in Hollywood.

That said, we’ve grown fonder of her on Idol than we ever anticipated. She’s kind, insightful and absolutely gorgeous on our small screens twice a week. Apparently, we’re not the only ones that feel that way.

“Fox does not want to let her go. They love her,” a source said.

What do you think of this shocking news? And we hate to ask it, but who would you like to see in her stead?

I really do think that Jennifer wants to leave American idol. I don’t think that she is doing it just to get paid more money. She doesn’t need the money anymore. She’s #1 on the forbes richest celebrity list. She has a big upcoming world tour, new music and new movies coming out. Shes back on top already.

I LOVE JLo!!!!! I think that she should leave American idol. I’m tired of all these new singing shows and pop stars like Christina, and Britney being judges. Sooner or later people are gonna stop watching Idol. Jennifer should leave before the show rating get lower. She the #1 richest celebrity in the world!!!!!! She doesn’t need the show anymore. She should focus on movie, music, and her coconuts ( babies) LOL

I think Jennifer threw Jessica under the bus on idol tonite–it was an incredbly hard Mariah song she chose for her to sing. If you sing Whitney or Mariah you will always come up short even if you do a great job.

all 3 judges should be replaced . . because they are boring, they say the same thing . . .and look what they and jimmy did to jessica, they chose the best songs for philipp and joshua and sosososo songs for jessica . . . i was surprised when they gave joshua and phlipp standing ovations . . lsiten to the song of philippp, he missed a line and yet they find it incredible . . .ur so biased

all 3 judges should be replaced . . because they are boring, they say the same thing . . all jennifer could do is flirt with philipp . . .they used jessica to increase their viewers and then pull her down
